the track pad on my mac isnt working?

i have a macbook pro its a few years old i got it in 2009. i was using it fine when suddenly it stopped clicking. whenever i click to go to a new page of close something it doesn't work. I have tried rebooting it and that doesn't help. it works perfectly fine for tracking when i move my finger it doesn't glitch or anything it moves smooth. i haven't split anything on it and it just stopped working.

    the older macbook pros are poorly designed. eventhough everybody believes a mac cannot be like that...

    anyway the thing is the placed the battery underneath the trackpad and if the battery for some reason ( most likely because fo the heat) change its shape, it will screw the trackpad. The only solution is to repleace both the trackpad and the battery, if that is the case.

    Source(s): my friend had the similar problem with his mbp 13'', and i sold my mbp and the new owner contacted me asking wtf and described the very same problem. however my description differ from yours when you claim it works perfectly fine for tracking...
